Overview

AfterQuery seeks current and former consultants to shape datasets that capture real consulting work. You turn desk research and structured problem solving into consulting deliverables such as research briefs, market overviews, strategy decks, client memos, and analytical spreadsheets. Each example comes with a detailed prompt that spells out the analytical task, plus a rubric that separates excellent, average, and poor work. The role runs remote and asynchronous on a part-time contract and feeds AI training on real consulting reasoning.

What You'll Do7

  • Produce authentic consulting deliverables, from market overviews and research briefs to strategy decks, client memos, and analytical spreadsheets.
  • Write detailed prompts that define the analytical task behind each deliverable.
  • Build concise rubrics that show what separates excellent, average, and poor output.
  • Source or create examples that reflect real client work and professional communication.
  • Shape tasks around structured problem solving, including MECE, issue trees, and hypothesis-driven analysis.
  • Check that every deck, memo, and spreadsheet meets a client-ready standard.
  • Keep prompts precise enough for another model to follow the same reasoning path.

Requirements7

  • Native English speaker.
  • 1-5 years in consulting, including at least one stint at a leading firm.
  • Strong desk research, synthesis, and presentation skills.
  • Ability to turn analysis into polished, client-ready materials.
  • Experience leading workstreams or managing research-heavy modules (preferred).
  • Familiarity with MECE, issue trees, and hypothesis-driven problem solving (preferred).
  • Proficiency in Excel, PowerPoint, and structured business writing (preferred).

Who Should Apply

An early-career consultant with 1-5 years at a leading firm, native English fluency, and a portfolio of client-ready decks and memos. You know how to move from desk research to synthesis and can apply MECE, issue trees, and hypothesis-driven problem solving in Excel and PowerPoint.

Salary Insight
